Your striking accuracy is nothing less than phenomenal! The fact that you do it with any size bopper is other-worldly. You have my deepest respect and admiration.

Your direct percussion accuracy is awesome - the best I've seen. Well done!

Holy cow, I never thought I'd learn so much in one little video, I want to make a keokuk knife blade too, though it will be a lot smaller, I dont have very big pieces of keokuk but I'll try!

Another great tutorial. You say you have more control when you hold the blade vrs. supporting it on your thigh, is that because you have better support or because you can control the angle of the strike better or something else?
@EDBO234 жыл бұрын
That's gonna be a matter of preference but for me, I can see what I'm doing better. Also when the blade gets thinner I use finger pressure, trapping and pulling to influence the flaking. Thanks for watching!

HELP! MAKING A KNIFE FROM A BLANK! Somebody please tell me how to fix my blank PLEASE? I just started, did better than I expected however the blank slab I started with the flakes didn't go enough across, so I'm left with the flat unpolished slab in the center of my project! Did I articulate that well enough for someone to bail me out? Is this a fixable situation? Thank you Fam! 👉✌💚👈
@EDBO234 жыл бұрын
Sounds like you need to re-bevel the edge and re flake farther. You will lose a little width but that's better than nothing

If you don't mind, can you tell me where you got your leather leg pad, or what it is? I haven't been able to find anything that soft or thick. Thank you for your videos! I made a couple boppers inspired by yours, and they are a good tool.

What is the difference between Keokuk and Burlington?
@eddiemain96813 жыл бұрын
The Keokuk I get comes from Oklahoma. The Burlington stuff comes more from Illinois. Both are great when heat treated. I don't know anything more specific, sorry.
